## Part 1 is the orignal i3.conf file, see part 2 for my configuration.

# This configuration makes intensive use of the scratchpad.
# It keeps all file managers in the scratchpad allowing you to open
# and close the file manager with $mod+minus without disturbing 
# or changing any other window.

# For "drag and drop" copy operations you need to see more then 
# one file manager window at the same time. Use $mod+plus
# to toggle "view all file managers".

# i3 config file (v4)
#
# Please see http://i3wm.org/docs/userguide.html for a complete reference!
#
# This config file uses keycodes (bindsym) and was written for the QWERTY
# layout.
#
# To get a config file with the same key positions, but for your current
# layout, use the i3-config-wizard
#

# Font for window titles. Will also be used by the bar unless a different font
# is used in the bar {} block below.
font pango:monospace 8

# This font is widely installed, provides lots of unicode glyphs, right-to-left
# text rendering and scalability on retina/hidpi displays (thanks to pango).
#font pango:DejaVu Sans Mono 8

# Before i3 v4.8, we used to recommend this one as the default:
# font -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--13-120-75-75-C-70-iso10646-1
# The font above is very space-efficient, that is, it looks good, sharp and
# clear in small sizes. However, its unicode glyph coverage is limited, the old
# X core fonts rendering does not support right-to-left and this being a bitmap
# font, it doesn’t scale on retina/hidpi displays.

# use these keys for focus, movement, and resize directions when reaching for
# the arrows is not convenient

### Thunar file manager configuration
###

# This configuration makes intensive use of the scratchpad.
# It keeps all file managers in the scratchpad allowing you to open
# and close the file manager with $mod+minus without disturbing 
# or changing any other window.
#
# Let's assume you want to start a new work:
#
# a) Start an application with $mod+d or $mod+Shift d    - or -
#
# b) Select a file and open the file with the associated application:
#    Use: $mod+t, $mod+Shift+T, $mod+minus, $mod+plus
#    Also try pressing $mod+minus and $mod+plus more then once...


bindsym $mod+t exec --no-startup-id thunar

# All Thunar instances will live in the scratchpad. Cycle through the 
# scatchpad with $mod+minus.
for_window [class="Thunar"] move scratchpad; [class="Thunar"] scratchpad show; 
# Code sample  for "move position" and "resize"
#        for_window [class="Thunar"] move scratchpad; [class="Thunar"] 
#          scratchpad show; move position 0px 22px; resize shrink height 
#          3px; resize grow width 600px; move scratchpad

# For "drag and drop" copy operations you need to see more then 
# one file manager window at the same time. Use $mod+plus
# to toggle "view all file managers".
# 
# It shows all Thunar instances at the same time. 
# As they all have the same size and position you will see only the top
# window. Move the top window manually, then you see the underlaying.
# Press the $mod+plus key again to make them disappear. 
bindsym $mod+less [class="Thunar"] scratchpad show
# apt-get install gtrayicon
exec --no-startup-id gtrayicon --tooltip="Hide/show file manager." --activate='i3-msg [class="Thunar"] scratchpad show;' --deactivate='i3-msg [class="Thunar"] scratchpad show;'
# Autostart one instance of Thunar 
# Do not close it. Hide the scratchpad with $mod+minus instead.
# Comment out if you do not like a startup filemanager window.
# Comment out also if you use a fingerprint scanner. The Thunar window
# will cover the keyring password dialog.
# Open thunar
exec --no-startup-id thunar


# See also: https://faq.i3wm.org/question/2420/dropdown-terminal-in-i3/

# Bind dmenu
bindsym $mod+d exec --no-startup-id i3-dmenu-desktop




### Additional window manager keys
###

#Automatic back-and-forth when switching to the current workspace
# workspace_auto_back_and_forth yes

# Cycle through all windows on this screen.
# You might need to press press $mod+a first
bindsym $mod+Tab focus right
bindsym $mod+Shift+Tab focus left

bindsym $mod+m move workspace to output left
bindsym $mod+Shift+m move workspace to output right



### Some additional shortcuts to launch applications.
###

# Graphical menu with all applications. Does the same as dmenu
bindsym $mod+Shift+d exec xfce4-appfinder

# Set default for xfce4 applications
#bindsym $mod+Shift+m exec xfce4-settings-manager

# Lauch a file sync script
bindsym $mod+Shift+s exec i3-sensible-terminal -e sudo /usr/local/bak/lsync vaipat2.lan

# Choose i3-sensible-terminal:
# To choose your preferred terminal emulator launch as root: 
#   update-alternatives --config x-terminal-emulator  
# bindsym $mod+Return exec i3-sensible-terminal

# Launch midory browser 
bindsym $mod+Shift+b exec /usr/local/bin/sudox -u mynobody midori

# Launch firefox browser
bindsym $mod+b exec /usr/local/bin/sudox -u mynobody firefox

# Launch thunderbird
bindsym $mod+i exec --no-startup-id gksu -u getreu icedove

# Copy a date string like "20150224-" (24.2.2015) into the clipboard. 
# Can be inserted with Control-v or middle-mouse-key later.
bindsym $mod+Shift+n exec "echo $(date +%Y%m%d)- |tr -d '\n'| xclip -selection c"; exec "echo $(date +%Y%m%d)- |tr -d '\n'| xclip"
# this is not very stable and does not work in all environments. To be improved.
#bindsym $mod+Shift+n exec sh -c 'xdotool type --clearmodifiers "  $(date +%Y%m%d)-"'

# hide and unhide sticky notes
bindsym $mod+p exec xpad --toggle
